33) Lizzy and Jane by Katherine Reay if you’re a fan of Jane Austen then this is a good one for you as it is littered with references to her books and in particular Pride and Prejudice (which is my favourite novel). Lizzy and Jane were named after Jane Austen’s heroines, but the similarity ends there. In the aftermath of their mother’s death from breast cancer, Lizzy escapes to New York and establishes herself as a renown chef, but when she loses the spark that made her a top chef her boss encourages her to return home to see her family and in particular her estranged older sister who has recently been diagnosed with the same cancer that killed their mother. This is an enjoyable read, even if the topic of family and cancer is a difficult one
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched they must be felt with the heart
